March came and went, bringing with it at least one major new release in the form of Apple TV+'s grand family opera, Pachinko. This month might not be as epic, all things considered, but there are certainly some noteworthy new additions being added to Apple's video streaming library this month.
Apple TV+ has a lot of different content to watch these days. It's still not as extensive a library as, say, Disney+ or Netflix, but there's definitely something to watch. Like the Best Picture Oscar winner CODA, for instance. Or, of course, Ted Lasso. But, if you prefer something that falls more into the "thriller" category and you've already made your way through Truth Be Told, this new series starring Elisabeth Moss (The Invisible Man) might be what you're looking for.
Way back in March of 2021, we heard that Apple had secured a female-driven anthology series called Roar for Apple TV+. The upcoming show will focus on telling "darkly comic feminist fables," and, since it's an anthology series, it will tell a variety of different stories across its first season. What's more, it has a pretty stacked cast and talented folks behind the cast, too.
The price of Netflix subscriptions in the US is going up, and the company's already emailed some users about the change. Is there anything you can do about it?
Sharing access to a single Netflix account is pretty easy and straightforward if you live in a house with more than one person. The streaming service technically hosts options like multiple profile support, for instance. However, password sharing is still a problem for the streamer, and it's working on ways to crack down.
Just before the end of 2021, Apple TV+ announced that it had landing the streaming rights to a brand new four-part documentary series called They Call Me Magic. It'll focus on the life and times of the basketball legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson. And it's set to premiere in April.
Earlier this week, Apple hosted its "Peek Performance" event. While the company took plenty of time to talk about new products, like the green iPhone 13 options, it also broke the news that it's making the leap to streaming live sports, too. Up first is Major League Baseball, with Apple TV+ hosting "Friday Night Baseball" on a weekly basis.
Do you happen to be a fan of the trivia game Trivia Crack? If so, Netflix might have some good news for you today. The streaming service is about ready to launch a brand new interactive series, and it's based on that particular trivia game.
There's no definite timeline for production turnaround when it comes to a film or series. So, for example, despite the fact Slow Horses starring Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight, Darkest Hour) was initially confirmed to be heading to Apple TV+ in November of 2019, we still haven't been able to watch the series. Despite the fact other shows and films have been announced and launched between then and now.
Some months are going to be slower than others when it comes to new content available on Apple TV+. The good news for folks who are looking for something fresh to dive into, this is not a slow month. And here you'll get a quick look at what's being added to the digital library in March.
Netflix's Fast Laughs feature, basically a TikTok-inspired feed of amusing 30-second clips, is now rolling out to compatible TV devices and could also soon launch on the Apple TV streaming box after previously debuting on smartphones.
It has been over a year since we last heard about the upcoming international drama Pachinko, which is set in not only South Korea, but also Japan and the United States. To that end, the series is also told across three languages, and while it has grand ambitions about its scale, it's still meant to be an intimate story.
